Strawberry Orange Jam
14 cups
Ingredients
- 8 cups prepared strawberries
- 14 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup frozen orange concentrate, thawed
- 1/4 cup orange zest
- 1 170ml box liquid Certo
- 12 250ml sterilized Bernardin canning jars and lids
Description
- Combine strawberries, sugar, orange concentrate and zest in a large pot set over high heat. Bring to rapid boil. (To safely boil, pot should be no more than a 1/3 full). Boil hard for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, mix in Certo and stir occasionally for 5 minutes to prevent fruit from floating. Skim away foam.
Pour into clean hot canning jars within a 1/4-inch of the rim. Wipe rims clean, and then seal. Process sealed jars by submerging them in boiling water for 10 minutes. Remove jars and cool, undisturbed, for 24 hours. Check seal. - The sealed lids should curve downward. (Consult Bernardin mason jars or lids packages for instructions on how to safely, seal and process canning jars. Or contact Bernardin directly a 888-430-4231 or www.homecanning.com/can).
Note
To prepare fruit, wash, hull, and then crush 6 pints of strawberries using short pulses in a food processor or by hand with a potato masher, one layer at a time.
Makes 14 cups – enough to fill 12 250 ml jars, plus 2 cups of jam you can enjoy right away.
